perf config: Honour $PERF_CONFIG env var to specify alternate .perfconfig

2019-10-05T11:13:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 61a461fcbd62d42c29a1ea6a9cc3838ad9f49401 ]

We had this comment in Documentation/perf_counter/config.c, i.e. since
when we got this from the git sources, but never really did that
getenv("PERF_CONFIG"), do it now as I need to disable whatever
~/.perfconfig root has so that tests parsing tool output are done for
the expected default output or that we specify an alternate config file
that when read will make the tools produce expected output.

perf bpf: Save bpf_prog_info in a rbtree in perf_env

2019-03-19T19:52:06+00:00

bpf_prog_info contains information necessary to annotate bpf programs.

This patch saves bpf_prog_info for bpf programs loaded in the system.

Some big picture of the next few patches:

To fully annotate BPF programs with source code mapping, 4 different
informations are needed:

    1) PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
    2) PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
    3) bpf_prog_info
    4) btf

Before this set, 1) and 2) in the list are already saved to perf.data
file. For BPF programs that are already loaded before perf run, 1) and 2)
are synthesized by perf_event__synthesize_bpf_events(). For short living
BPF programs, 1) and 2) are generated by kernel.

This set handles 3) and 4) from the list. Again, it is necessary to handle
existing BPF program and short living program separately.

This patch handles 3) for exising BPF programs while synthesizing 1) and
2) in perf_event__synthesize_bpf_events(). These data are stored in
perf_env. The next patch saves these data from perf_env to perf.data as
headers.

Similarly, the two patches after the next saves 4) of existing BPF
programs to perf_env and perf.data.

Another patch later will handle 3) and 4) for short living BPF programs
by monitoring 1) and 2) in a dedicate thread.

removed the only remaining use of a function provided by these files, so

perf tools: Read the cache line size lazily

2018-05-17T19:03:34+00:00

It is not read as commonly as 'page_size', so it makes sense to read it
lazily, caching its value when it is first read.

Less files open unconditionally at startup.

tools lib api: Unexport 'tracing_path' variable

2018-05-16T19:27:14+00:00

One should use tracing_path_mount() instead, so more things get done
lazily instead of at every 'perf' tool call startup.

perf config: Call perf_config__init() lazily

2018-05-16T19:11:09+00:00

We check what perf_config__init() does at each perf_config() call,
namely if the static perf_config instance was created, so instead of
bailing out in that case, try to allocate it, bailing if it fails.

Now to get the perf_config() call out of the start of perf's main()
function, doing it also lazily.

perf tools: Rename HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE to HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT

To be consistent with other HAVE_XXX_SUPPORT uses in Makefile.config,
this patch renames HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE to HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT and

perf tools: Add 'perf -vv' as an alias to 'perf version --build-options'

2018-04-02T16:50:35+00:00

We keep having bug reports that when users build perf on their own, but
they don't install some needed libraries such as libelf,
libbfd/libibery.

The perf can build, but it is missing important functionality.

This patch provides a new option '-vv' for perf which will print the
compiled-in status of libraries.

The 'perf -vv' is mapped to 'perf version --build-options'.

For example:

$ ./perf -vv

v3:

One bug is found in v2. It didn't process the option like '-vabc'
correctly. Fix this bug.

v2:

Use a global variable version_verbose to record the number of 'v'.

perf trace: Remove audit-libs dependency if syscall tables are present

2018-01-23T12:51:38+00:00

Change the Makefile and build process to no longer require audit-libs
interfaces when the architecture provides system call tables.

Committer notes:

Its not enough to hook into the NO_LIBAUDIT makefile block, we need to
define a CONFIG_TRACE that gets selected by both architectures
generating the syscall tables from the kernel headers and from detecting
the availability of libaudit.

With that in place we will not link against libaudit even if the
necessary files are available for that, in fact we will not even try to
detect its availability, speeding up a bit the feature detection phase.
